But maybe there are other things around to use?<br />The discusion about the fanny makes me laugh! when my girl was a baby I used to talk to her in english and she wanted to know the name of this particular female part, and I came out with the rudest word ever (unknowingly, of course) years later we had to rename it to "fanny" as they told me it is not rude...Oh, my! Do we have to change it again? Is there a "children" word for it?Merche Martinezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05661826143945463474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1374783908598391491.post-91270707687021818212012-10-05T18:58:18.123+08:002012-10-05T18:58:18.123+08:00oops, excuse my grammar errors above...

Kind of like putting in a patch where you attach stuff to the tent..<br />Let me put in a good word for Crocs thongs. They're not only very cushy and comfy, they also attach that same spot to a built-in bread closure thingie :-). Haven't had one pop out yet. I know some people loathe them for the (in)esthetics of the original clog-with-holes, but they have much better styles and I find them great for a rainy day, or the beach.M-Cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1374783908598391491.post-49633880408905744382012-10-05T17:55:53.080+08:002012-10-05T17:55:53.080+08:00I think the thong manufacturers are going to lose ...I think the thong manufacturers are going to lose out here - not so many sales!
